Hi All,

I'm thinking about buying an Aurion (AT-X or SX6) soon, and if I do I'll probably get a Vais SL2i iPod interface installed. Some questions for those of you who have the Vais kit:

1. Does the unit function in CD-MP3 mode with the Aurion? Does this give easy access to playlists on the iPod?

2. If CD-MP3 mode doesn't work and you have to use standard CD mode, do you still get track names displayed on the head unit (ie. CD Text)?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there

I've got one of these (the earlier SLI model from memory) on a factory satnav system in a Prado. I'm certain the way in which it operates is exactly the same though.

It works fine in CD-MP3 mode and gives access to playlists and shows tracknames, etc on the headunit. I'm 99% confident that I have read that it works the same on the headunits similar to yours.

As a matter of interest, if things haven't changed very recently the Vais units work completely off playlists. That is, you can't select albums, artitsts, genre, etc...not a biggie for me. These units are fantastic and well worth it in my opinion. The sound quality is very good.

Cheers

Michael

I have one of the new SL2i interfaces and it works in CD-MP3 mode. You will just need to set up the playlist so there is a maximum of 99 songs, but you are able to have 99 playlists. It will keep working and playing your music if you have over 99 songs but once it hits 100+ the text gets out of sync.

It works very well and you have pretty good control of the iPod.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      Hi All, I have sent my car to a local mechanism shop as I heard a big scary clunk noise from the front left wheel part recently. And a huge surprise came back to me is, they told me that my break calipers has two bolts missing. I don’t think it is a common problem caused by daily routine driving. So really need to find out what was happened to that 2 bolts?! How lucky I was for driving nearly half a year without a tight break!! I even have kids on my car… can’t think more now. It’s terrifying 😱

      Engine Immobiliser

      Hi Chris, I would suggest getting a code scan as well mate as it could be something locking out the security starting process, and it may make tracking it down faster for you maybe worth the fee for a mobile mechanic who can do that for you as I doubt it will be a fuse or relay causing it sounds,like something in the security side of the process. I am sure if any others have ideas they will post it, these are just guesses on my part so I hope you get it sorted fast mate KAA

      Fuse boxes info

      I have a Toyota tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to find out where I can get the contents list of all the items in the fuse boxes. I think it has 4. I only have one cover in the engine bay fuse box. The other three have no information anywhere. Need to know what the items ( fuses, relays ) are for ?? If anyone can help would be a nights sleep for me..

      Rav4 Nightmare After Dodgy Mechanic

      Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! Unlike me and my Toyota, which is currently in a bit of a mess, haha. I'm reaching out for some help, feeling pretty desperate, to be honest. My 2013 Rav4 2AD-FTV Turbo Diesel is on the verge of being a total loss thanks to a dodgy mechanic who really messed things up. My car's was pristine, but then it blew the head gasket. I acted quickly, called up a mechanic recommended by a friend, and he towed my car away promising to assess the damage. He later reported that the engine was still in great shape but needed the head gasket reshaped to fix the issue. Weeks turned into months, and despite numerous promises and missed deadlines, my car remained in the shop. The mechanic stopped answering my calls or messages, and when I finally tracked down my car, it was sitting outside another workshop, unable to start. Cut to now, after seeking help from a reputable diesel specialist, they've replaced seals, checked compression, swapped injectors, and pretty much everything possible. But my car still struggles to idle, and they suspect the previous mechanic may have messed up something electronic or electrical. I'm at my wit's end. No auto electrician seems willing to touch it, fearing it's a money pit with no guarantee of success. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering I may lose the car. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Door seals - causing internal leak

      Hi experts need some help. I have a 2004 Sahara 100series. With all this rain we are having my car has started leaking. It was my father in laws car. It’s leaking water down the pillar trim where the handle is inside front seats onto the dash, down the side of airbag and glovebox and dripping from corner foot area where dash ends and onto the floor. I can see the seal on the roof above the door has a gap in it. Could this be it? 1Q. Who would I get to look at this? 2Q. Anyone had this issue before? 3Q. Where do I begin. Thanks in advance, Sarah IMG_3589.mov

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Kanga, You wouldn't believe it, I found a pump at a Victorian wrecker. He posted it to me but to the wrong address. It was 10 days before I found this out. I went to the wrong address and they said the didn't see it. Austpost is adamant it was delivered. The wrecker fortunately has another one. So, I haven't taken the old one out yet.

      I was hoping for a trivial issue like a blockage, but seems Im out of luck....

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Just tested before - I think its dead. No noise - nothing. I also note that the power supply I have actually delivers a really high-pitched noise when it is on. When you connect it to something, that noise goes away. In this case, when I connect to the terminals, the noise remains. I'm going to have to get inside to look further. Unfortunately, I simply don't have the room to do a job like that. Geoff, did you have any luck getting yours out through the inspection hole mate? I'd seen a few Lexus owners actually cut the inspection hole to get this part out without dropping the tank. Each to their own, but I'm looking to avoid anything that invasive....
